Waste fill-level monitoring for paper shredding companies

Waste collection companies specialising in shredded paper and secured documents face unique challenges

Rising fuel and labor costs put constant pressure on the bottom line, while the lack of real-time bin data makes on-time servicing difficult, often leading to overflowing bins or unnecessary routes. Adding to the complexity, ineffective hotspot surveillance leaves critical areas vulnerable to service delays.

The most important factor for end clients such as banks or hospitals is security, as the sensitivity of the documents is the top priority. Therefore, bins should be collected once they reach around 70% capacity, ensuring that the shredded documents on top cannot be accessed by any personnel. These pain points not only hinder operational efficiency but also affect customer satisfaction and compliance with strict security and sustainability standards. 

Addressing these issues is essential for companies offering paper shredding services to stay competitive and deliver reliable, cost-effective services.
